From Surrogate to Superman: Raiden's Unlikely Transformation

In an attempt to rebuild the burned bridges caused by Sons of Liberty -- or perhaps to poke fun at our rigid expectations -- Raiden became a buffoon in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Kojima did get a chance to poke that particular hornet's nest one last time, though; Snake Eater starts by asking players which Metal Gear they prefer, and those who choose Solid 2 receive an altered intro that makes it seem as if Raiden will once again take the starring role.
